“Power from the North”
— a two-day conference, March 23 & March 24,
at the University of Vermont.

March 23 is designed to bring together leading policy makers, energy professionals, and academics from both sides of the international border to consider the increasingly important Quebec-Vermont/New England electric energy relationship. The conference will “tell the story” of this evolving relationship, examine its social, economic and environmental consequences, and ultimately inform present and future decisions regarding energy production, distribution and use in the Quebec-New England region, including the role that Quebec might play in de-carbonizing electric systems in Vermont.

March 24 is focused on innovation, business and economic collaborations. Businesses from both sides of the border will participate in business-to-business meetings to encourage and foster cross-border partnerships, and bring innovative technologies to market.

As part of the conference there is a student paper competition highlighting exemplary student research related to Quebec-Vermont/Canada-U.S. energy issues. Papers can examine any aspect of the Quebec-Vermont/New England or Canada-U.S. energy relationship, past present or future and may be from any field, whether the humanities, social sciences, science/technology, or business. Selected students will have lodging, travel, food, and conference fees funded.
Awards totaling $1,000 will be issued to the top three papers/posters.

Collaborators: The University of Vermont’s College of Arts & Sciences, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the Environmental Program, and the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources, the Departments of Public Service & Economic Development in Vermont State Government, Government of Quebec, Vermont Council on World Affairs, St. Michael’s College, Community College of Vermont, Champlain College, Renewable Energy Vermont, Vermont Law School, Sherbrooke University, Bishop’s University.
